AN IOWA CASE
Regarding Long and Short Hauls
by Railroads
Decided by the State Commission
"A Transcontinental Fizzle.

Dies MONIES, Ia, May THE rail
the complaint of Gov. Larrabee against
the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy rail
road, gave its decision this morning.
They say the complaint makes it their
duty to determine whether or not the
railroad company had charged an UNI
reasonable rate. The governor had ar
raigned and put them on trial before the
bar of public opinion for the manner in
which they had performed their duties,
and had given them notice that unless
they redeemed themselves 'the conf
mission will have to CO." Lengthy
quotations are made from the governors
criticisms of prior actions of the board
and for their alleged neglect of duty.
They further say that i'll February last
they held in this same case that the
shipments of coal from Cleveland on the
80" road to Glenwood, 1876 miles, and to
Council Bluffs, l5T miles, were under
like conditions and circumstances, eX
cept distance; that $3.50 per ton for the
shorter distance, against S1.25 for the
lodger distance, was excessive and UNI
just discrimination, and they recon-
mended a revision of the tariff rates to
conform to the provisions of the inter
state commerce law. The road then adj
vanced its Council Bluffs rate to Sl.9O.
a rehearing was had, and the commits
sion, after reviewing the arguments,
and careful study of rates on
coal roads, find a general conces-
sion is made at competing points.
From all sources of information possible
they decide that for class "A" roads, Il
proper terminal charge is 80 cents a ton:
that an additional reasonable rate up to
100 miles distance should be mills per
ton per mile, to 20G miles mills, to 800
miles mills, to 400 miles mills, to 500
miles mills per ton. The reasonable
rate on coal from Cleveland to GlenwoOd
would be Sl.45. The decision of the
commission is unanimous. This is the
first decision of long and short hauP'
rates in this STATE

Few cities can boast of system of
protection as well organized and elf
cient as the st. Paul police force of to-
day. There is no 'tafTy" in this state
ment, for it is amply subStantiated by
fact. The records of the criminal
courts and the daily papers bear out the
assertion that the percentage Of crimes
committed. in proportion to the popula-
tien, is less here than in any of the
larger cities. west or east. 1t is not so
much in the detection and arrest of
criminals As in the prevention OF crime
that the police are valuable,
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-05-08

The organization of the St. Paul force
to-day is almost perfect. 1t numbers
just l5S men, including Il commissioned
officers, lis patrolmen, 5 detectives, 5
jailcrS, q drivers, pOundmaSterS and 2
bailitfS. They are all appointed by and
subject to the OrderS-in general way
of Mayor Robert \. Smith. Physical
and educational qualifications, as well
Us good character, are necessary to ap-
pointment. Two years residence in the
city is also a necessary qualification,
and the applicant must be a full citizen.
The largest percentage of the police
force is native born, although
the German and Irish elements are
we'll represented. The rigid medical
examination through which all eppli-
cantS must pass makes it impossible for
any but strong, athletic young men to
get through, and the st. Paul police are
u gallant lot of able-bOdied SiX-footerS.
The executive head of the department,
to whom the credit for its efficiency is
mostly due, is the chief of police, John
Clark.
He is q powerful man himself, and
excepting the two giants, Officers Andy
Cali and Jim Mcclure, can look down

freight train coming down had stopped
To drill cars into switch on the north
side of the west bound track After
this had been done the engineer with his
engine came down the west-bound track
to get at the head of his train. While
he was hurrying down the west-bound
track he was caught by passenger train
number No. 12. which leaves Allentown
as 6.4. A collision was inevitable and
the engineer of the freight train and his
fireman and the fireman on the passen-
ger train jumped for their lives. The
fireman on the freight engine escaped
with few bruises; the engineer had a
leg broken and the other fireman was
badly cut about the head and face. The
firemen were taken to St. Luke's Hos
pital. The two engines came together
with a great crash, but the engineer on
the passenger train stood as his post and
escaped. The front truck of the freight
engine mounted the passenger engine.
The freight engineer in his flight, il is
said, had reversed his engine, but had
forgotten to shut off the steam. His en-
gine then began to move backward car
rying with il the engine of the passenger
train, which by the breaking of the link
had become detached from the baggage
car. As the running gear of neither en-
gine was disabled and the front truck
of the freight engine rested ON the pilot
Of the passenger engine the two engines
thus linked together started on "A chase
up the road. The engineer OF the pas
senger train, who had remained on his
engine, hastenei out of his cab window
and crawling along over both engines
made his way into the cab of the freight
engine and closed the throttle. In doing
so he was somewhat scalde,i. but he
brought the flying engine to a standstill
and averted another accident.
The interlOcke,l engines ran two
miles before they were stopped. Where
the blame for the accident belongs il not
known. The freight train conductor
says he had sent out at fiagman to warn
| the approaching passenger train, which
was known to be- due. but the engineer
Of the passenger train says he saw no
signals of danger. Both engines are
badly damaged and have been taken tO
the South Easton shops for repairs. Pas
senger traffic was but slightly inter
rupt.-t.

RAILROAD STRIKES EXTENDING
ONE OF THE ALLEGED CHICAGO D00DLERS
MAKES A STATEMENT.
The Railroad strikes.

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, March 12.-The
yard and road crews on the Niles and
New Lisbon branch Of the New York.
Pennsylvania and Ohio struck this morn
ing, stating that they would not return
until the existing troubles are amicably
settled. The yard men and road men ON
the Pittsburg, Cleveland and Toledo
read, who gave notice last Monday, AS
serted that if an order he not issued to-
day putting ON the third brakeman all
would strike tonight, causing an entire
suspension Of the freight traffic between
Pittsburg and Akron ria Youngstown.
Superintendent Kimball, Of the Penn
sylvania company, this morning called
upon Sheriff Walker. stating that they
intended to fill the places of the striking
yard men with other men, and. fearing
violence, they demanded protection.
Sheriff Walker went to the yard alone,
not deeming it necessary 10 call q posse.
One of the new men brought from Law
renee Junction was at work helping the
freight house employees to move train
and another man was brought in later.
Several strikers were congregated near
the yard, but they were quiet and upon
being asked to dispense walked away.
The men say they will attempt no vio-
ience. Deputy sheriffs are on duty IN
case any outbreak should occur.
MARQUETTE, March 12.-The close is
drawing near at Sault Junction, where
the strikers still have possession of the
contractors' camps. Provisions are run
ming out and the strikers threaten to
raid the supply stores. The Sheriff has
succeeded in preventing violence thus far.
The contractors are determined tO break
the strike by peaceful means, IL they
can. or by force, if they must. Should
the strikers attempt to destroy property
there will be some killing done. 1t is
said that half the men are willing to re-
turn to work, but the camps are full Of
loafers from Detroit who are leading the
men to violence. A number of arrests
will follow the strike. The situation is
critical this afternoon.
